History of St. Joseph's Parish, Central Falls, RI History of St. Joseph's Parish, Central Falls, RI. 1906-1981 Diamond Jubilee St. Joseph's Church, Central Falls, RI., p. 14-22. CAP at Orchard Lake. At the close of the 19th century, when the textile industry in New England began to prosper, immi- grants from Poland were attracted to Central Falls, Pawtucket, Valley Falls and other communities of the state of Rhode Island. The first Polish people to come to Central Falls settled in the vicinity of High Street. Since no church was available for their use, they found it necessary to attend services on Sundays and Holy Days in neighboring churches. Some traveled as far as St. Adalbert's Church in Providence to fulfill their spiritual obligations. Occasionally, the people would be visited by Fr. Adalbert Duczmal from Providence, who attended to their spiritual needs. The number of Poles grew rapidly. On November 11, 1900, the Polish people organized the "St. Joseph's Fraternal Aid Society." From this Society came the suggestion that a parish be organized. With this in mind a special committee was selected, headed by Szczepan Pokraka. The Most Rev- erend Matthew Harkins, Bishop of Providence, accepted the petition of the Society and agreed to assist them in organizing a parish. A census was taken, as requested by Bishop Harkins, and showed that there were 200 Polish families in the Blackstone Valley. The organization of the new parish was entrusted to the Reverend Francis Kluger. Father Kluger was born on April 22, 1880, in Siemianowice, Gorny Slask, Poland. He received his elementary education in the local schools. He studied Philosophy in Italy and Theology at the Ame- rican College of Louvain, Belgium. He was ordained to the priesthood on June 28, 1905. In August of that year he arrived in Providence and was assigned by Bishop Harkins to organize a parish in the Quidnick section of Coventry. He served in Quidnick for only 15 months. In that time he organized Our Lady of Czenstochowa Parish. He was then assigned to Central Falls to organize a parish there. St. Joseph's Parish of Central Falls became a legal corporation on December 6, 1906. The first two trustees were John Rzepiela and John Bozek. There was no rectory and no church. For two years Father Kluger lived at 60 Cross Street. The difficult task of organizing the parish began. The Polish people frequently assembled for their services in the hall of Sacred Heart Church, Pawtucket. In March, 1907, Father Kluger purchased a wooden building on High Street known as Temperance Hall. The cost of purchasing and renovating the building amounted to approximately $10,000. St. Joseph, the patron of the Fraternal Aid Society, became the patron saint of the church and parish. A school was opened in the basement of the church. Three teachers staffed the school: the pas- tor, Father Kluger; Mr. Krawczyk, the organist; and an unidentified elderly woman. In 1909, Father 1 Kluger purchased a beautiful building at 353 High Street to be used as a rectory. Later, this building became part of the parish school. The parish grew rapidly and the church became too small to accommodate all its worshipers. In 1915, Bishop Harkins gave permission to purchase land on Clay Street and to build a new church at an estimated cost of $45,000. However, a boiler explosion caused a fire after midnight on Easter Monday, 1916, which completely destroyed the existing wooden church. It was, therefore, decided to build a new church on the site of the old church. Meanwhile, services were conducted in the hall of St. Basil's Church, Central Falls. The new building project proceeded quite rapidly and all services were taking place in the hall of the new church by the following Easter. The new Gothic church was large and beautiful, with a unique and very impressive facade. The main altar, still found in the church today, was purchased from Holy Trinity Church, Central Falls. The gracious steeple, built by Father Malecki, and admired by many, was destroyed during the 1954 hurricane. During all this time Father Kluger was alone. In 1916, he was assisted for several months by the Reverend Peter Switala. In November, 1917, Father Kluger was transferred back to the first parish he organized, Our Lady of Czenstochowa, Quidnick. The second pastor of St. Joseph's Parish was the Reverend Lawrence A. Malecki. Born July 14, 1882, in Franklin, Pennsylvania, he received his early education in LaSalle, Illinois. He attended college and studied Philosophy at St. Mary's College, Orchard Lake, Michigan, and Theology at SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary, Orchard Lake, both of which were located in the city of Detroit at that time. He was ordained a priest in 1910 and served in Fall River, Massachusetts, and Quidnick, Rhode Island, until he was appointed pastor of St. Joseph's Parish. At that time the parish debt amounted to a sizeable $56,000. However, the times were prosperous and Father Malecki, through his amiable disposition, priestly life and charity, gained the confidence and cooperation of all his parishioners, and successfully completed the construction of the present brick church. Bishop William A. Hickey, coadjutor of the diocese, solemnly blessed the church on July 6, 1919, in the presence of the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Peter Blessing, the Vicar General of the diocese, and a large representation of the clergy from Central Falls and vicinity. The program began with a procession of church and civic organizations down High Street to Main Street, Pawtucket, where Bishop Hickey was met, greeted and led to the church. That same day Bishop Hickey administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to 450 children. In his eloquent sermon Bishop Hickey encouraged the faithful to acquaint themselves with the Ameri- can language, customs and institutions, while simultaneously preserving their beautiful national traditions, customs and language. Four Bernardine Sisters from Reading, Pennsylvania, arrived in the fall of 1918 to conduct the parish school, which, at that time, was located in the church hall. The Bernardine Sisters staffed the school until June, 1971, when it was closed because of the low enrollment, shortage of Sisters and the ever increasing cost of lay teachers' salaries and of maintaining the school. For three years the Sisters resided in a rented house near the church. On April 29, 1920, Father Malecki purchased a house 2 at 393 High Street and converted it into a convent. In 1921, house at 355 High Street was bought, because the new rectory and the former rectory were converted into a school. In the fall of 1921, new wing, with four classrooms, was added to the building at a cost of $27,000. In February, 1925, the interior of the church was painted and decorated with beautiful paintings which to this day are admired by many visitors. Chandeliers were imported by Father Malecki and donated to the parish by the Holy Rosary Society. The parish observed its Silver Jubilee in 1931. Because of Father Malecki's zealous and untiring ef- forts, the parish was spiritually and materially sound. It had a beautiful church, a comfortable and spacious school, a convent and a rectory. Father Malecki was assisted in his pastoral duties by the following priests: the Reverends Vin- cent Kapturkiewicz, Bronislaus S. Rosiak, Francis J. Wilk, Walter J. Rozpad, Joseph Glodzik, John J. Szymczyk, John T. Borek, A. C. Jastroch, Leonard Kaszynski, J. J. Rolbiecki, Conrad Tyzynski and A. M. Wojcieszczuk. Father Malecki, who enjoyed good health, began to fail rapidly shortly before his death on July 4, 1934, at the age of 52, in the 24th year of his priesthood. He was buried in St. Leon's Cemetery in Pound, Wisconsin. The Reverend Peter Switala was appointed to succeed him. Father Peter Switala was born on August 2, 1883, in Jaskolki, Poznan, Poland. He received his early education in Jaskolki and his high school education in a German high school in Ostrowo, Poland. He studied Philosophy at Petit Seminaire, St. Trond, and Theology at the American College of Louvain, Belgium. He was ordained to the priesthood on July 8, 1908. Immediately after ordination he came to the United States and served in St. Casimir's Parish, Warren; St. Joseph's Parish, Central Falls; and St. Stanislaus Parish, Woonsocket. In 1920, he was appointed pastor of St. Adalbert's Parish, Providence, where he remained until he was appointed pastor of St. Joseph's Parish, Central Falls. Father Switala planned to build a parish auditorium and make necessary renovations to the parish buildings. However, difficult economic conditions prevented Father Switala from fulfilling his plans, and the great depression curbed the material progress of the parish for many years. In 1937, parish organizations such as Scouting and the CYO were introduced. In 1938 an organ, valued at $15,000, was purchased and installed. While he was pastor, Father Switala was assisted by the Reverends Peter P. Dobek, Stanley Kowalski, Basil Szeliga, and Michael W. Dziob, as well as by the Franciscan Fathers, Minor Conventuals. Father Switala died of a heart attack on May 12, 1944, and was buried in St. Francis Cemetery, Pawtucket. The fourth pastor appointed to St. Joseph's Parish was the Reverend Peter P. Dobek. Born in Wilm- ington, Delaware, July 4, 1906, the year St. Joseph's Parish was established, he attended St. Hed- wig's Parochial School and the Salesian High School in that city. He attended college and studied Philosophy at St. Mary's College, Orchard Lake, Michigan, and Theology at SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary, Orchard Lake, for two years and at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, Maryland for two years.

Bastia Secretary of Planning and Finance Diocese of Providence The Rite of Blessing and Re-Dedication Introduction The wisdom of God is beyond imagining and his goodness, a boundless treasure. He unfailingly enlightens our minds to open up new and better means of sharing with each other all kinds of information, ideas, and aspirations. The discoveries of technology, if used properly, can be of great service to the human family, not only to bring help in times of need, but also as resources for education and entertainment and even for spreading and building up the kingdom of God. 1 Reading from Sacred Scripture Brothers and Sisters, let us listen to the words of the Holy Gospel according to Mark: But later, as the eleven were at table, Jesus appeared to them and said, “Go into the whole world and pro- claim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents (with their hands), and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.

  • Assumption Bvm Church, Providence, R.I
    ASSUMPTION BVM CHURCH, PROVIDENCE, R.I. OUR PARISH HISTORY 1870-2018 January 1870 Catholics in the Elmwood neighborhood petition Bishop Francis McFarland of Hartford for a church in this area. Congregations at St. Michael’s on Oxford Street and St. Mary’s on Broadway were increasing dramatically and the district between the two was becoming thickly settled. There had long been talk of the formation of a new parish to reduce the overflow in the South Providence and Olneyville churches and to afford greater convenience to those who resided in the Elmwood area of the city. The impressive growth of Elmwood and the West End was a reflection of the development of Providence as an industrial and commercial center. A number of manufacturing establishments moved into the area west of Elmwood Avenue. The most prominent were cotton mills, jewelry manufacturers, and companies such as the Gorham Manufacturing Company on Adelaide Avenue, which made silverware and other goods from precious metals. At this time, Elmwood was an expanding middle and upper- middle class residential area that stretched along Elmwood and Potters Avenues, and Public, Stanwood, Bucklin, Greenwich and Madison Streets. A young assistant pastor from St. Michael’s by the name of Father Michael Clune saw the need and collected the necessary funds from people in the neighborhood to buy a site and erect a temporary structure. The site purchased by Father Clune was on Linwood Avenue but was ultimately rejected as the site of the Church by the Vicar General of the Diocese of Hartford, Father Hughes. It was Father Hughes himself who in April 1870 negotiated the purchase of the lot of land on which the present church and rectory now stand.
